"BTW, did you read that the pepper spray cop is now trying to collect workman's comp for the mental stress he suffered by having to pepper spray those students?"
Paybacks iz a beotch! The looey is going to get paid...for all that stress and anguish 'n stuff!
Meh...Berzerkely is still all that!
But...the weather is awesome. Ohio weather blows donkey balls.
"20 years old. No job. And that is all you have to say about your economic position."
Trust fund baby?
If the lad is willing to work stocking shelves at night to train and race, he may just be solid. He'll never know where he can get unless he makes the journey. Hell, I was bummin' around Europe on a touring bike when I was 21 (I had a signed contract for my next job in the fall)...sadly, even then I knew I didn't have the tools to be a pro...or even an amateur capable of earning my next meal! But, there's never been a day in my life I regretted making that trip.
I envy the OP. Dude has got his priorities straight! Train hard. If you spend the rest of your days holding a Cat. 3 card...well, there's far worse fates than waiting tables, racing your ass off and starting your career as an ME (33 years as an aerospace industry mechanical design engineer and I would have rather spent those decades as a piano player in a whorehouse) a year later.
